class figure { class inheritance {
int l,b,area; Public static void main(String args[]) {
void showarea(){ rectangle rect = new recatangle(3,4);
Area = l*b; Rect.showarea();
System.out.println(“The area = “+area); square sqr = new square(4);
}} sqr.showarea();
class rectangle extends figure{ }}
rectangle(int len, int wid){
l = len; OUTPUT:
b = wid; } } The area = 12
class square extends figure { The area = 16
Square(int len)
l=len;
b=len;
